Chennai Super Kings moved up to 3rd place in the table after a stunning palm over RCB. Their palm came with shots from Devon Conway, Shivam Dube, and Ajinkya Rahane before Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana combined 5 lattices to end RCB’s chase. With 227 run inning, RCB caused a stir in the first round as CSK Impact No. 6 Akash Singh defeated Virat Kohli. Mahipal Lomror emerges with number 3 but Tushar Deshpande is forced to flee. That was before Glenn Maxwell joined Faf du Plessis and entertained original suckers with a series of stunning shots.
At the end of the game, RCB led 75 to 2! It was a phenomenal counterattack of Du Plessis and Maxwell -brutal in heaven.
It would take special trouble to stop the dangerous RCB brace that had for 7overs well before Ravindra Jadeja attacked. With a 227 target to win, RCB was rocking in the opening game as CSK Impact No. 6 Akash Singh took Virat Kohli out.
At the end of the game, RCB had a 75- 2 lead! du Plessis and Maxwell were brutal in heaven. Faf du Plessis smashed his half-century off 23 balls, and at the other end, Glenn Maxwell evened shot after shot from his captain. RCB has a team fit for these conditions and showed up on Monday.
Despite Virat Kohli’s early exit, the two elderly pros fought a magical battle. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell had the loftiest cooperation ever with a third gate for RCB in the IPL. Before the brace split when Maheesh Theekshana Maxwell retired for a ball 76- 36.
It was unevenly matched but the sweats of the two were inconceivable nevertheless, adding 126 points in10.1 to give RCB a real chance and CSK a real dread.
Shortly after Glenn Maxwell’s departure, Moeen Ali falls into the hands of Faf du Plessis and charges are brought against Shahbaz Ahmed and Dinesh Karthik. With four overs remaining, RCB demanded 46 runs to win
Suyash Prabhudessai and Wayne Parnell, two bowlers who were new to the line-up, had to score 31 runs from 2 overs. Tushar Deshpande added to his tally by knocking out Parnell in the penultimate round while the match was still open at the time.
RCB withdrew towards the end of the chase and painfully missed what could have been a record-breaking chase.
SCALING OF RAHANE, DUBE, AND CONWAY
Mohammed Siraj made an impressive debut after Bangalore Royal Challengers captain Faf du Plessis scored runs and opted for the bowl. Siraj was almost unplayable early in the second half as he sacked Ruturaj Gaikwad for 3.
And above all, out of these 2 recommendations, Siraj only gave 6 points. However, Wayne Parnell and Vijay Kumar Vyshak could not match Siraj’s skill and the playoffs began to go well for the Chennai Super Kings.

Devon Conway was brilliant at the start but Ajinkya Rahane stole the show again with 20-37. It was an incredible turnaround for Rahane. Last season he scored 103 goals.91, reaching 198.46 this year after starting a sensational half-century against the Mumbai Indians. Wanindu Hasaranga ended the carnage at Rahane before Conway took the reins as the Super Kings chased the money in a big batting field against a dangerous batting line-up.
Conway has found a great partner in Shivam Dube. Both added 80 runs for third place in just over six overs. Faf du Plessis tried everything he could as captain but couldn’t stop the flat runs in the small field. Devon Conway appeared to be the second New Zealand batsman to reach an IPL 100 but lost to Harshal Patel at 83. Shortly after, Shivam Dube, who had fought RCB 93 in 2022, opted for a quick 52 to leave the Ambati Rayudu scene. and Moeen Ali.
Both men played their part as Chennai Super Kings battled Royal Challengers Bangalore for the highest score in the IPL.
The Final overs saw major drama when Harshal Patel’s removal happened from the bowling alley after throwing two No-balls. Ravindra Jadeja struggled to hit the ball and stroked Glenn Maxwell who hit a six before MS Dhoni broke out in celebration. Dhoni’s singles meant MS Dhoni is now the top scorer of the second round against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
